Saturday out

The day didn't start very nice. Begins with a rain, and was abit pissed off with my friend since I did not get any confirmation for the day's plan. Nevertheless I was determined to put it down and not let this dampen this already gloomy day :)

Met up with him to settle his canvas prints for his wedding banquet next week. It is also a good chance to see a printing company too. Maybe I should select some of my pictures for prints :)

Since we still had some time before the album collection, we went town and attempted a movie. Didn't have the slightest idea that this was so popular! What we had were 2 seats at the opposite ends of a row! So we had to dropped the idea...

It was mindless shopping. Well, not really. My friend bought a wallet, and I got his belt at a bargain :). Later on, I got myself a book, the Sartorialist. Been waiting for this quite a while.

Later met up with his friend. Looks and sound abit egoistic, but doesn't really bothers me. Around this time, the photographer called my friend for the album collection. So we proceeded to drop by his studio. Yes, another eye opener for me too.

Well, quite a well-done job for the album. I feel it serves its purpose, though I have my opinions for improvements too. At this time, his friend and wife came to meet us for dinner and of course, the album.

Just another moment later, my friend's fiancee came to meet us too, and we proceeded to another spot for drinks. Can really tell that there is something funny between that friend and his wife, always something to argue and disagree on. Oh well.

Been wondering why again though, people keep trying to introduce girls to me again. Maybe my time has come? Been thinking of some plans next year if I am still unattached and unsettled :)

The Sartorialist

Finally bought this, since my favourite book store is finally offering the 20% discount.

Thick book, but very entertaining. Inspiring too. :)

Resolution for 2010

1) Marathon
2) Tailor a white dinner suit
3) Cook a few dishes, eventually I want to specialise in dessert :)
4) Poetry
5) Write or arrange a song

Will add if more comes to my mind

Footprints in the Snow

This is a book about the life of a Chinese (China born) Buddhist monk. Finally finished this. Like other books, I though I may never complete this. Haha

The book started with his childhood, before the World War. It was quite slow, and I though I would lost interest. Things started to pick up when he moved to Shanghai because the Koumingtan Army forced them out of his original staying place.

From there, he joined the KTM army and left for Taiwan. Taiwan turned out to be the pivot of his life and career.

His description of the situation in that period is very vivid and of historical value, at least to me. His description of the his style of teaching Zen is equally fascinating and sophisticated. These were the reason that kept me to the end of the book. :)

I should get over her soon...

Not really sure what happened and how it happened. Things turned out better between us for the past few weeks. I sensed that there is something that soured between them, and I also believed that she wants to keep it from me. Maybe she doesn't want to tempt me to advance. Maybe I will never know.

Anyway, I believe I should get over her. Whether she is the Queen of Pentacles, or Cups. I have a feeling she is not my destined one, and I am not hers too. And also things will begin to cool down too, I believe.

Let's see how things will unfold in 2010...

Weekend escapade :)

Travelled to Kuching last weekend. Boring place, boring food. Car travelling was tiring.

But the company was fun. I think I would like to travel with them again, and hope they feel the same. :)

I really think I had some sort of foresight that allowed me to plan a escapade when something really hurtful happens. It was the same for the Penang trip when that August event took place. And then now this. Hm~

Paparazzi... :)

Another nosy colleague hinted that she saw me with someone she knew. I think I know who she meant, but I didn't really care what she was going to do.

It wasn't meant to be a secret, and I was clear about my relations with people. If it was really a romance affair, I would not hide nor deny, unlike THEM. In fact, I would let the world know not to touch her. Haha :)

Anyway, I think she had a liking of me, but again I will not want to guess. I rather enjoy my aloneness while it still lasts, as the Tarot suggested. When the time comes, I would know who my Lady will be, I guess.
